The Innsbruck approach

John Fiscus has written on the Cirrus Owners & Pilots Association (COPA) blog about an interesting observation he made while organizing his charts: The approach chart into Innsbruck Austria actually folds out and its one steep approach into the airport!

However and to fully appreciate an approach into Innsbruck Airport, the following video from YouTube shows the standard procedure for approaching Innsbruck’s runway 08:

Its worth noting that the approach into the Innsbruck Airport is actually a popular flight simulation and as you can see from the above video, most pilots (and passengers alike) would probably prefer doing the approach usig simulator software and not in real life!
